Blaming the Broken
When I spoke my mind
You punched me in the ear
And more
To teach me a lesson
Now I’m broken
You trapped me in your apartment
Chained me to the radiator
Because I said no
I’m broken too
You took me in the night from my bed
Where I was safe
For your amusement
And I will never be unbroken
Again
You make your problem our problem
Our daughters
And our sons too
Need our strength
But we are all broken
Because you are
We are not your playthings
Grow up, Man up
Stop making excuses
Because there aren’t any
And fix your shit
We’ll be waiting
